The decoctions are a type of potions. Each decoction requires a formula you can either find in-game from treasure chests or buy from herbalist / alchemist vendors. Formula locations appear to be randomized. Once you have the formula, you can.

STORY 21 - Ugly BabyRecommended Level: 19Objective: Tell the Baron's sergeant you want to take UmaFast travel to the Crow's Perch in Velen and enter the Baron's castle.

He'll be sad to see Uma go (tell him to find another diversion during the dialogue to hear some interesting methods of entertainment from Geralt).

After the chat a scene will take over and Geralt will take Uma to Kaer Morhen. With a detour to the Royal Palace, naturally.When you regain control after arriving at the witcher stronghold, you will be presented with three objectives that trigger subquests and can be completed in any order. All three must be completed to advance this story quest.Objective: Help Yennefer fix the megascopeWalk through the main hall and up the tower to find Yennifer swearing at her megascope. I've had days like that.SUBQUEST: DisturbanceRecommended Level: N/A (none listed)Objective: Find and help YenneferShould already be complete when you trigger this subquest.Objective: Find the source of the magical disturbance using the potesaquisitorAfter obtaining the potestaquisitor from Yennefer, descend the tower and march back into the main hall area where Lambert, Eskel and Vesemir are working.

You getthe idea.The very greatest single advantage of the new AppleScript over ‘doVisual Basic’ is that you can now get a result returned from anAppleScript expression in the normal way, rather than hoping you willbe able to find a way to send a string result from VBA by writing to atext file, as described at the very end of this article. In the meantime you can use the VisualBasic Editor’s Help: the AppleScript terms are almost identicalto the VBA terms except they use “normal” lower-case Englishsuch as ‘auto format’ rather than ‘AutoFormat’ and ‘convertnumbers to text rather than ‘ConvertNumbersToText’. That was a verycumbersome workaround – which was not always possible to use – ifyour result were a Word object, for example, or anything else that couldnot be coerced to a string.Word 2004’s new AppleScript is brand new territory, yet to be explored.The rest of this article deals with the techniques needed for Word X andearlier. Applescript list.

The item you are looking for is inside a crate beside the cage next to Vesemir (bombs inside the crate).Objective: Return to YenneferObjective: Let Yennefer know you removed the source of the disturbanceClamber back up the stairs to the tower and inform Yennefer that the line is now clear (ugh, dial-up). So she can contact the lodge.

Talk to the contact with Yennefer to find out about a few things and finish this subquest.End SubquestObjective: Talk to Lambert about journeying to the circle of elementsYou should find Lambert in the middle of the main hall, talk to him to trigger another subquest.SUBQUEST: The Final TrialRecommended Level: 19Objective: Follow LambertAfter the conversation ends, Lambert will be off. Follow him out of the main hall and through the giant hole in the fortress wall. Trail after him down the path and ledges. On the way, you will be attacked by a group of three or four harpies, however they shouldn't pose much of a threat due to weak attacks.

Use your crossbow or light attacks to knock them to the ground before finishing them off with your sword or instant finishers (this will occasionally trigger upon a knock-down). After the battle, resume following Lambert until you reach a dilapidated hut on the shore of a lake.Objective: Find the boatAfter the scene, begin following the trail marked on the mini-map.Note: Examining the drowner corpse found here will unlock the sidequest - Monster SlayerA short distance away you'll find a circular search area on the mini-map. Enter it and head for the water's edge where you'll find five drowners guarding the missing boat.

Cut and slice your way through the mob like usual until they have all fallen. When the last drowner drops, a water hag will rise up out of the mud and attack. Slice her up and a scene will trigger in which Geralt and Lambert board the boat.Objective: Sail across the lake with LambertListen to the idle talk as the pair cross the lake. On the far side you'll be given a choice to rush to the aid of someone calling for help, or to ignore them.Optional Objective: Check where the boy's voice is coming fromTurns out the voice was merely an illusion caused by a trio of foglets. Foglets act in a similar fashion to wraiths, vanishing and attacking from behind. Use quen to protect against back attacks or the yrden sign to reveal the hidden foglets for a retaliatory strike.

Once the third foglet is dead, return to the mouth of the cave where you were previously.Objective: Enter the caveThe cave network is fairly linear (despite it's initial appearance). Make sure to look for chests scattered in the cave as there are a few diagrams to find (one is in the lit area next to Old Speartip at the back of the cave. You will need to climb up several ledges and use the Aard sign to blast through a few fallen rock piles blocking your path as you progress.You can battle old speartip if you want to (be ready to deal with a level 20 cyclops) but he doesn't drop anything special upon death, so you may just want to ignore him. Finish following the mini-map trail up the final set of ledges and out of the cave.Objective: Get to the circle of elementsOnce you are in the outside air again, start following the dirt path along the cliff edge and up the hillside. A few hundred yards up the path, you'll see a troll moving away from you ahead. Shortly after this, a scene will trigger where a group of troll will begin to fling rocks at Geralt and Lambert.Objective: Seek shelter in the tunnelWhen you regain control, sprint along the trail shown by the mini-map towards the nearby tunnel entrance.

Getting inside will shield you from the troll's projectiles.Objective: Get past the blockageAard.blast.no more blockage (or you can just climb over it and be a dick to Lambert). Climb up out of the tunnel to face off against the trolls that attacked earlier.We'll leave our swords. Come back for them later - Trolls let you pass peacefullyNot gonna happen - Battle the trollsObjective: Get to the circle of elementsEither way, once you've dealt with the trolls, follow the trail upwards to finally reach the circle of elements.Objective: Light the torches around the altarObjective: Place the phylactery on the altarSimply light all four large metal brackets on the altar and interact with the stone altar (between the candles) to put down the phylactery and trigger a scene with Lambert. After the ritual ends, you will get your swords back from the trolls (or not, if you fought them) and get the dialogue option to fast travel back to Kaer Morhen or to make your own way back.

Geralt knew Uma currently resided at Crow's Perch. The baron's bandits, hungry for a bit of unrefined entertainment, had made Uma their jester.

Geralt knew he would have to put an end to this farce, take the unfortunate being from Velen and, with Yennefer's help, try to lift the curse that held him.- Tell the baron's sergeant you want to take Uma.- Tell the person minding the stables that you are taking Uma.- Collect Uma.- Help Yennefer fix the megascope.

Vesemir told Geralt that Yennefer had set up her trusty megascope as soon as she arrived at Kaer Morhen, but could not get it to function for the life of her. This news greatly troubled the witcher. If Yennefer was planning to use her megascope, that meant a conversation with other sorceresses was in the works - and that in turn meant scheming, politics and other things Geralt truly could not stand.- Find and help Yennefer.- Find the source of the magical disturbance using the potestaquisitor. Look for chests next to Vesemir and Uma.- Let Yennefer know you removed the source of the disturbance.Quest completed.Main quest The Final Trial (19). The task of preparing the phylactery fell to Lambert, to his great dissatisfaction. His discontent came as no surprise to me when I learned of it - Lambert was not the most obliging of fellows, and Yennefer, well, let us just say she was not his favorite individual.

Nevertheless, Lambert agreed to do the job, and Geralt felt he had no choice but to accompany him.- Find Lambert.- Return to Lambert when you're ready.- Follow Lambert.- Find the boat.- Kill the drowners.- Kill the water hag.- Get in the boat.- Sail across the lake with Lambert.- Check where the boy's voice is coming from.- Kill the foglets.- Enter the cave.- Go through the cave.- Kill Old Speartip.

Yennefer asked - or rather, if I am to be completely honest with you, dear reader, ordered - Geralt to help Eskel hunt a forktail. The sorceress needed ingredients from this dangerous beast's body and clearly thought two witchers would get the job done sooner than one.

Once Geralt had helped both Lambert and Eskel, Yennefer was ready to lift Uma's curse. Yet in a surprise twist, Vesemir demanded they wait. The old witcher wanted to try his own, less risky method before the sorceress went about her invasive business. The others all bowed to his seniority and wisdom and let him take Uma to treat as he wished - leaving them with an unexpectedly free evening to fill. Eskel timidly suggested they spend this time productively, but this suggestion lost out to a more attractive alternative - a night of drink and camaraderie.- Proceed to Kaer Morhen's main hall.- Return to the witchers. Play cards, you can win - Card: Triss Merigold.- Find Eskel using your Witcher Senses.- Examine the source of the noise.- Search Yennefer's trunks.- Put on Yennefer's trousers.Quest completed. Party is over!;-)Main quest Va Fail, Elaine (19).

Traveling via Geralt's most beloved means of transport, teleportation, Yennefer reached Kaer Morhen first - and immediately started bossing everyone around. Not only did she divvy out chores to the witchers like a schoolmarm whipping lazy pupils into order, she also refused to reveal any details of her plans.

Though Geralt was not exactly charmed by this behavior, he knew he had to help her - for Ciri's sake.- Gather the necessary ingredients and brew the Decoctions of the Grasses.- Brew the Decotions of the Grasses.- Bring Yennefer the potions.Quest completed.Main quest Brothers In Arms: Velen (22). Nowhere in the world can one find warriors braver than those born in Skellige, and thus Geralt set off to those isles in his hunt for allies to stand with him against the Wild Hunt.- Talk to Crach. You can find him in Kaer Trolde Keep on Ard Skellig or in Gedyneith during Coronation quest. He won't come to Kaer Morhen but he will give you a family heirloom. sword Winter's Blade.- Talk to Ermion.

Whether he become the king or not, he will join you in Kaer Morhen.Main quest Brothers In Arms: Nilfgaard (22). Geralt realized the fight against Eredin and his soldiers would most likely be the most difficult challenge he had ever faced. In addition, the stakes were higher than ever before - this time he was not fighting for his own life, but for that of Ciri and, by extension, the entire world. Since extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures, the witcher decided to swallow his pride and go to the emperor of Nilfgaard for help.- Talk to Emhyr var Emeris. You can find him in Royal Palace in Vizima but no matter what you do, he won't help you.Quest completed.Main quest The Isle of Mists (22). After a long search Geralt was at last a step from his goal. Avallac'h had hid Ciri from the Hunt on the magical Isle of Mists, which could only be reached if fate deemed one worthy - or by following a magic firefly, which was decidedly the easier option.

Geralt thus readied himself to sail to the isle and bring back Ciri.- Go to Skellige.- Talk to friends who could help defeat the Hunt and ask them to join your fight.- Get on a boat.- Travel to the Isle of Mists.- Follow the firefly.- Check what's in the hut.- Look for Ivo in the cave.- Look for Gaspard near the lighthouse.- Look for Ferenc along the coast.- Bring Gaspard to the hut.- Wake Gaspard up.- Return to the hut.quest completed. Get ready for a lot of story telling and then new quest - The Battle of Kaer Morhen (24). Geralt and Ciri had no choice but to teleport away from the Isle of Mists when the Wild Hunt threatened to attack.

Since Eredin could trace where Ciri traveled to with her abilities, the duo did not so much flee the Hunt as buy a few precious minutes of time. Ciri took Geralt home, to Kaer Morhen, where the group of friends the witcher had gathered waited to defend Ciri to their last breath. They spared a few seconds for a tearful reunion - then began preparations to repel the Hunt's attack.- Enter Kaer Morhen keep and begin the council.- Exit the keep and join Lambert when you're ready to face the Wild Hunt.- Use dimeritium bombs or the Yrden Sign to close the Hunt's portals and stop their attack on Kaer Morhen.- Kill the Wild Hunt warriors near the left portal in the forest.- Kill the Wild Hunt warriors near the center portal in the forest.- Kill the Wild Hunt warriors near the right portal in the forest.- Run to Triss's aid on the battlements.
